If you need to change one or more fields across multiple project profiles, Project Change makes the task simple and fast. This function is A to B editing tool, meaning you can only change value A to value B across multiple projects in a single pass. If you need to change A to C in some project profiles and A to D in others, make multiple passes with this tool. It still saves time and effort.
The following information provides details on the Project Batch Change fields.
